Abstract:

The most crucial aspects whenever we discuss antenatal care services are the coverage of antenatal care contacts and the contents of antenatal care during pregnancy. During the ANC contact, women get counselling and medical check-upfor their pregnancy which preventsnot only women but also the newborn babiesfrom preventable death. It is a window of opportunity for offering preventive measure to save the mother and newborn’s life. But despite the significance of antenatal care content in Nepal, many women are still being left behind, either directly or indirectly. Women empowerment and adequate

Chlorhexidine is a broad-spectrum antiseptic, effective on gram positive and gram negative bacteria as well as some viruses, having strong skin binding effect. Randomized controlled trials conducted in South Asian countries have proven that the use of chlorhexidine (4% weight/weight) for cord care can reduce neonatal mortality and prevent severe cord infections. Between 2011 and 2017, Nepal completed nationwide scale-up of the use of chlorhexidine by integrating with ongoing maternal and neonatal health programs, under the leadership of the Child Health Division.
